According the FBI-NCIC there are more than 100,000 missing persons listed within it's system. The NCIC ( National Crime Information Center ) not only keeps track of crimes for comparative analysis, it does much more. It also compares missing persons reports filed by law enforcement agencies.It's has been estimated that only 10-50 % of the actual true number of cases have been filed with the NCIC. Just because a case has been filed with a local law enforcement agency does not mean that it has been listed with the NCIC. There are likely between 40,000 - 50,000 actual cases of unidentified that are not fully reported.
There are efforts in legislation right now that will improve the reporting situation by making more standard requirements. There are also efforts in place to help alleviate the huge back log of cases that have fallen into the cold case drawer.
But much of the effort falls on the family members of the victims. Do request inclusion into the FBI - NCIC and inquire about the National Missing Persons DNA Database.
Below is more information to help local officials route DNA submissions.
